Ninja Attack! Summary

Ninja Attack!: True Tales of Assassins, Samurai, and Outlaws by Hiroko Yoda

Ninja Attack! introduces dozens of unforgettable real-life ninja straight out of the annals of Japanese history--many of whom are all but unknown outside their home country.

Ninja masters. Solo assassins and operatives. Femme fatales as deadly as they were beautiful. Swordfighters out of legend. And the Shogun and warlords who commanded them. Each individual in this graphic novel is profiled with a full-page manga-style drawing and a dossier brimming with top-secret information, including photos, anecdotes, and dramatic stories of the individuals in action.

The book covers ninja clothing styles, the types of weapons that were used, ninja tools, ninja tricks of the trade, and the basics of the ninja diet. It also includes a do-it-yourself tour of ninja related spots in modern Tokyo.

Ninja Attack! is everything you always wanted to know about ninja but were too afraid you'd get a shuriken in the eye to ask.

Legendary ninja covered in this book include:
  • Prince Shotoku
  • Mochizuki Chiyojo
  • Hattori Hanzo
  • Matsuo Basho
  • Mamiya Rinzo
  • Jiraiya

Book 2 of 3 in the Yokai Attack! series. Others include Yokai Attack! and Yurei Attack!.

Ninja Attack! Reviews

Written by Hiroko Yoda and Matt Alt. This book contains numerous stories of real-life ninja exploits from Japanese history. The accounts run the gamut from solo assassins and operatives to femme fatales and shogun warlords. Includes manga-style drawings and photos. --Black Belt Magazine
I wish I'd had this beautiful book back in 1983 when Kevin Eastman and I created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles--it would have helped a lot! At the very least, the 'ninja stuff' in our comic book would have been quite a bit more authentic. --Peter Laird, co-creator, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
A must read for ninja fans. And the illustrations are brilliant! I wish there was a Japanese edition of this book. --Takashi Okazaki, creator of Afro Samurai
